Rachel Maddow came to MTP loaded for bear!

[Ilsa]

I suppose she'd disagree with my hunting metaphor, but I stand by it: she came with printed quotes to read regarding terrorism trials. Her demeanor is more serious than it is on her show. She is making her points succinctly and well.

BTW, the young freshman GOPer Representative is a joker that regurgitates Cheney talking points.

[farmout rightarm]

1. I wanted to jump through the TV and strangle that little shit.

:grr:
(Aaron Schock...what a schmuck)

[Ilsa]

7. I forgot his name. Thanks. And Ford is hammering them also! nt

[malaise]

21. He made some useful points but he has no credibility

He is owned by Wall Street. I dislike him more every time I see him.

[Ilsa]

2. "The factual basis for your assertions is so thin," she said

to the freshman Repub Representative and David Broder about their claim that Mirandizing terrorism suspects allows them to clam up and not cooperate during questioning and investigation.

[Catshrink]

5. She definitely pwned them.

The little twit was just sputtering talking points given him by Papa Boehner. Once Rachel peeled those away, he had nothing left.

[Ilsa]

9. Yes! "PWNED!" he tried to ask her if she'd give back her Bush tax cut, a ridiculous

assertion. Harold Ford is doing a decent job bringing up the rear, supporting her criticisms, and offering the soft-sell summary call-to-action.

[gateley]

3. Ooh -- I recorded it, I can hardly wait to watch. I think she is the BEST at

getting points across so everybody can understand the situation. She simplifies it and just gives us what we need to know.

I didn't see the first time she was on, and didn't watch my recording after everybody here was saying how they kind of ran roughshod over her, so I'm really looking forward to this. :hi:

[Ilsa]

11. She has been masterful in handling this. She is brilliant. nt

[Ilsa]

4. RM is calling out their Gramm-standing! nt

[bullwinkle428]

6. Aaron is "Shocked" to get his ass handed to him by Rachel!!!

:party: :bounce: :toast: :fistbump: :headbang: :yourock:

[freeplessinseattle]

10. I think he peed his pants

that look on his face was priceless

[farmout rightarm]

22. Republicans aren't accustomed to encountering intelligent women. They think all females

are like Palin...brainless receptacles...

[AnotherMother4Peace]

30. His steely stare & patronizing responses bounced off her composed intelligence.

He ended up looking like a fool.

[jefferson_dem]

8. She did.

Rachel is, hands down, the best advocate for our cause. I'm so proud of her.

[madokie]

13. Yep she is

I missed it

[malaise]

23. There will be a repeat on GEM$NBC

at 2.00pm EST

[madokie]

28. Thanks

:hi:

[me b zola]

12. I can't wait to watch!

First news that VP Biden smacks cheney around, and now Rachel. :thumbsup:

[onehandle]

14. She should be let loose on 'mainstream' news shows more often. nt

[Slit Skirt]

15. i quit MTP long ago...

but looks like I will have to watch the rerun...what would we do without Rachel?

[HipChick]

27. I only watch it when Rachel is on..I bet MTP ratings get a boost when she is on..

[vssmith]

16. She is way too smart and way too prepared for any wimpy

congressman

[Jennicut]

17. She was fiercely intelligent and well prepared. Not like that Repub smuck.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

20. She's wiping the floor with him. Her intelligence is refreshing. nt

[mfcorey1]

18. Go RAchel. Go Rachel. Go Rachel. go Rachel.

:yourock:

[malaise]

19. She beat up that little ReTHUG freshman

and it was a joy to behold.
Rachel should be the MTP host - she's light years ahead of hack Gregory.

[TwilightGardener]

24. "With all due respect, Rachel"--he's so outmatched, it's hard to watch.

[Thegonagle]

25. I so want to vote for her some day. This is (DU) love!

[Kingofalldems]

26. Rachel now on the GOP list as someone to avoid

Thanks. Here's a heart.

[hollowdweller]

29. She didn't let a single GOP talking point remain unchallenged

She was fantastic.

Frequently Obama's responses are too nuanced to be effective.

Rachael Maddow is more like the Big Dog in that she can take a complicated issue and respond in a way that is both in detail yet understood in the gut.

I thought the GOP freshman WAS honest in that the reason the GOP was supporting some things was that they saw the polling was on their side on those issues so that's why they supported them.

[rurallib]

31. Suppose GENBC realizes that Rachel would look good in the MTP chair

I doubt it.
But could you imagine MTP with a moderator who calls the BS?
